Eric Goldman and Roth Cornet discuss the Super Bowl commercials and the oddity of the Nationwide ad and its now infamous dead kid.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Along Jamaica’s impoverished southern coast, Billy “Mystic” Wilmot and his sons have built an unlikely surf community and pioneered many of the island’s best…
After the death of inside gaming, I am forced to come here for news
I think you misinterpreted the message. People are appalled for mainly two
reasons: the tonal shift and the fact that the kid was talking about his
own death. Nationwide isn’t out to scare parents into buying their product;
they’re offering a scenario where one family was given life insurance too
late, more like a warning to be prepared for the unknown. They *aren’t*
saying, «If you don’t get life insurance, your child will drown himself in
the tub» as you were suggesting.
People are over reacting. Its ridiculous to be honest. They act as if the
kid died on camera or some shit. It was just acting people, he is alive
stop being so dramatic about everything. Its a commercial for insurance,
what do you expect?
What is wrong with their commercial? It was good, it’s not like they
stabbed a kid and looked into the camera.
Hmmmm!… Everybody is talking about the NATIONWIDE commercial… Looks
like it is a win…
There is something I don’t understand, can someone please clarify? The
Super Bowl is about American football, but why is everyone talking about
the ads and not the actual sport itself? I mean in football EVERYONE talks
about the games.
The only problem i have with this is the insurance part. No amount of
insurance can ever help these kinds of accidents. You can’t stop them or
prevent them no matter how hare you try because the truth is is was an
accident. The people who care for the child will blame themselves and that
enough. People are saying take better care of your children and these
things wouldn’t happen. I found myself asking are you a provider for a
child someone you love? If so you will know how tired you can suddenly be
and in that second you fall asleep only unknowingly for a few minutes
before you jerk up and realize its to quiet or if one child was coloring in
the living room and you other child was out there on the playset swinging
and fell off you herd him cry and checked on your other child before
running out side to make sure he was ok and carried him in to get a bandage
but the tv was making a funny sound and so you went and looked and a
horrific accident had happened. Their is nothing you can do to prevent
accidents like this because they happen in a second and they are truly
accidents.
Where the F was the batman vs superman commercial!!!!!!!,???????
Personally I thought the Pierce Brosnan one was pretty funny.
get rid of roth , she is such a miserable bitch , i h8 her
This commercial sucked, i fuckin hate when companies try to make their ads
«emotionally powerful» or sensative. No im not interested in started
conversation, just show me what your selling and I’ll buy it if I like it.
The ads during this years Superbowl tried to be to edgy, tacking gender
stereotypes and other dumb shit rather than selling a product
I will say that Nationwide commercial soon became the most unintentionally
funny ad of the night when you soon think how many other things they
MUST’VE cut out of it.
They didn’t even air the GoDaddy commercial about the puppy being sold
online because of so many complaints from people who already saw it online.
This country is turning into one big stinking pussy.
Watching too much Mindy Kaling could lead to suicide. She really is the
most annoying person on the entire fucking planet.
I don’t get what the commercial is trying to sell. Are they saying that you
need to buy insurance to keep your kid from dying? Or that HEY your kid can
die at any moment , better but some insurance.
This commercial didn’t make me sad or anything, it was just stupid. And
then theres the other shitty feminist commercial
I was watching this with my nephew and I’m like, «see that’s what cooties
look like,» then wtf DEAD KID.. ffs
All that should be pointed out is big banks trying to make
sentimental/emotional ads lol
I like what Ya’ll doing I have thought about it before
It was clearly the Twin Peaks year of Super Bowl commercials!
nobody wants the depressing truth
put Katey Perry and the dancing sharks back on!!
The Mountain Dew commercial was retarded
that Fiat 500 commercial comparing the upgrade to viagra was weird.That
glue ad was retarded.
I like the Nissan ad even thought the dad was racing in 2014 car when the
kid was a baby and when the kid is a tennager the dad is driving 2015
Nissan car.
WHY IGN? WHY NOT JUST IN?
That moment when you realize that kid was dead the entire time lmao

happening ~ Surfing and Music Great combo
Anyone know the location at 4:30? Looks like there might be some good rock
climbing around there.
I remember drive thru… Billy was telling Taylor Steele, Donavan, Pat, &
others to keep there surf spot a secret. He didn’t want Jamaica to be a
surf destination. I guess the secret is out.
stoked life
